they probably meant to refer to the only muslim majority state in hindu
majority india. which, from a demographic point of view, is perfectly
reasonable. i suppose they would say something similar about "christian
majority" countries too - e.g. northern ireland, the catholic majority
region of anglican majority britain (except that northern ireland is not
catholic majority).

Why would the announcer want to say "Hindu dominated India" rather than
"India"? Surely there must be some meaning in there? Do you suppose the
people who wrote the script of the news item "Pakistan and India have been to
war three times over the status of Kashmir, which is the only Muslim majority
state in Hindu dominated India" were wrestling with questions like "What is
Hindu" and "What does domination mean"?
